PREFACEFrom TuellaIt has been both my great honor and my joyful assigned task to assemble within the covers of this book, many of the most vital communications received by spiritual messengers from Commander Ashtar since his earliest contacts with our dimension.

To have included them all would have been an impossible task. Rather we have attempted to compile those fragments which would best help us to discern the heart of this beloved Being, to appreciate his spiritual burden, his exemplary character, his depth of purpose, his unswerving loyalty to Our Radiant One and his dedication to the Kingdom of God on Earth. May the aura of his Light and his Love touch you as you read, to enjoy, to absorb, to be quickened to new heights of spiritual understanding and attainment. FOREWORD

We are the voices of those who serve with Commander Ashtar of the Ashtar CommandWe send forth this combined tribute to our beloved Leader. We commend the efforts of this Messenger to compile and give to the world this tribute and file of information which will greatly enlighten many to the mass efforts of all our fleets for the benefit of planet Earth. regardless of our origin from outer Space.

Our love for the people of Earth and the planet has motivated our participation with Beloved Commander Jesus Sananda and Commander Ashtar. in this tremendous Program for the benefit of humankind. Our volunteer efforts stem from a dedication to brighten the Lighted Pathway for all souls everywhere, and to be contributing units of the Brotherhood of Light in this sector of Space.

We have jointly followed the leadings of our Commanders down through the ages, through two to three generations within our own families who have also served the Hierarchy in this Mission. Our families, our children and spiritual mates, have in most cases remained behind on our home systems until this Earth mission is fulfilled and its splendor and beauty unfolds within its new dimension of glory.

The battle is not yet completed, the victory is not yet attained, but we know that the influence of Ashtar throughout our ranks, wiII guide the Hierarchal Program through the coming tumultuous restoration with wisdom and foresight, courage and ultimate victory. The people of Earth will receive the highest spiritual enlightenment, the planet will be cleansed, the clutches of those who seek to destroy will be lost and removed and the Kingdom of God shall come to Earth as it is in Heaven.

Under the coordinating leadership of the Ashtar Command, our scattered energies and various factions have been fused to one united channel of divine force, with strong guidance in the many indescribable details and challenges of the Great Mission. All of the various fields of patrol, whether it be scientific, educational, spiritual or protective, have been coordinated into one vast unified expression of cooperation and accomplishment. The last two decades have brought the placement of many new bases set into operation. The multitude of fleets small and great, have served as one, in the pattern of the leadership expanded before us.

In the face of any great divine challenge, the Radiant One chooses one great Man. In our fields of endeavor. Ashtar has been that Man. His energies have increased the efficiency of all of our individual responsibilities to a point beyond description. We have honored this Man in our midst and followed his guidance with respect. His love for mankind has consistently been his motivation.

His spiritual emanations and philosophical teachings have been an inspiration to all of us as well as to all of you. His intense devotional nature has been an example throughout all of the fleets. His wisdom in lifting the vibrations of the planet while yielding to none in his adamant plea for the respect of the right of man to choose his way without outside interference in his growth.

We can do naught but follow Ashtar to the ultimate Conclusion of the Battle for the Light. We are the Etherians of this Universe and its many Galaxies, who have come together in this volunteer effort for planet Earth. Many of us are with you now in physical form for this crucial time in your transformation. Many are yet to come to fill in the ranks, but all stand with appreciation, beside the Leader Our Radiant One has chosen, to lead this offensive for the Forces of Light in the Program of man's ascension.

It is with a sincere desire for his honor, that we jointly form this statement to express our love for Commander Ashtar, and we speak for the many. We call for the blessings of the Higher Guardians to bless this Tribute as it is placed in the hands of the people of Earth. May the love of Ashtar, as it is shown to be given freely to all men, return to his own bosom a thousandfold in blessings of Peace. Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all men will surely come with Ashtar at the helm of the Mission.

Speaking for the entire constituency of the Ashtar Command, its many great fleets and officers, and the thousands who make up the ranks and the souls who inhabit the millions of worlds of this Universe, we are

Ashtar the Man

Chapter 1: Who is Ashtar? Man or Myth? Name or Title? Space Commander or Archangel? Intergalactic Spiritual Leader? We believe that the pursuit of these answers will be an interesting adventure to those dedicated to understanding the Guardian Action surrounding this planet.

In the voluminous transmissions received by Dr. Enid Smith, UFO pioneer extraordinaire, Ashtar was often referred to as the Christian Commander from Venus. In our initial issue of UNIVERSAL NETWORK, in an item dictated by Lord Michael (through Gabriel Green), Michael refers to Ashtar' as the "Supreme Director in charge of all of the Spiritual Program" for our planet.

Under the sponsorship of Lord Michael and the Great Central Sun Government of this Galaxy, Commander Ashtar is second only to the Beloved Commander Jesus-Sananda in responsibility for the Airborne Division of the Brotherhood of Light. Ashtar has been widely known in UFO channeling circles for over three decades. His messages are beamed from a colossal Starship, or Space Station, beyond our atmosphere. He is loved for his deeply philosophical approach to our global problems and his efforts to raise our planetary vibrations.

Ashtar speaks of twenty million extraterrestrial persons involved with his Command in the Program for planet Earth, and of another four million on our physical plane, consciously or unconsciously cooperating in the program of Light.

I was curious about his alleged Venusian beginnings, and he volunteered: "I am of that strain of Beings who have manifested from that chain of planets, the lesser of which is known to you as Venus.However, the planet Ashtar was my original manifestation through the Father's love."

I pressed for further personal information, and was not disappointed. "The mystery that is associated with my person is of no consequence to me, but is perhaps of interest to some. I am seven feet tall in height, with blue eyes and a nearly white complexion. I am fast of movement and considered to be an understanding and compassionate leader. I am devoted to the principles and teachings of Our Radiant One, and I represent the Twelfth Kingdom and the Great Central Sun Hierarchy. I have been assigned the name of 'Ashtar' by that Universal Hierarchy for use in my calling as Commander of the Intergalactic fleets serving this hemisphere.

"I have not had a Human embodiment upon planet Earth, as some have inferred. This is incorrect information and should be discouraged. I have consistently been too involved with the affairs of the Universe to accept such an assignment. I am an active member of Councils scattered throughout this Universal Sector, serving in an advisory capacity at strategic levels of intergalactic affairs.

"The fleets of Etheria stationed within the Sector known as Schare, represent what is now called the 'Confederation of Planets for Peace'. We are a branch of the greater 'Federation of Free Worlds' which comprises the totality of the Space Commands throughout the Omniverse. While my own administration is local to the Commands of this solar system, I am not restricted to this sector in my service, for I represent our system in the Councils of other Galaxies and Universes throughout the vast Cosmos. From time to time I have been appointed to positions of higher responsibilities in those Councils.

"The Christ Teacher of this Galaxy is my Beloved Commander in Chief, and His Word is my Law. To Him I have pledged my service. I am but a leader chosen by Him, to fulfill the Program of Light on Earth through the winged commands of the Great Brotherhood. Each one of us is an active member of the pact taken by personal vow to serve that Cause."

Reflecting upon the general outline of this book, I confessed to mixed emotions concerning the advisability of reprinting messages with which so many would already be familiar - at least, the senior members of this movement.

Ashtar replied: "Ifeel very impersonal toward the material. I am only concerned that it be read by a broad segment of ready souls and that it be given serious consideration. A thing worth saying is worth having repeated. Anything that is worth repeating is worth fixing attention upon. The messages of the past, as well as the present, carry the same burden of concern for Human-kind. We do not change our concern with the passing of time. A call of twenty or even thirty years ago is just as valid this day. Our messages have found a more tolerant audience at this time because of the ongoing exchange. Nevertheless, the need for them is crucial at this hour - not only for a further emphasis, but for the benefit of those who may not have seen them at all.

"Therefore, in their repetition, further enlightenment will come to those who search at this hour. Be vigilant, my friend, in season and out of season, to spread the good will of your Brothers and Friends from Outer Dimensions of the Cosmos. We are all the Children of God, together under one banner and One Mission of Light. We join forces to bring this newest effort into manifestation.

"Regardless of the source, the words are Light, and they are Truth. We release them again for the Glory of God! The compiled content will reveal the nature of the messages through the decades as having had a certain theme, regardless of the channel, and it will contribute to an understanding of our reality and purpose in being with men, to plead with them to experience love and good will toward one another. There are presently many new students awakening with a lack of familiarity of the earliest contacts. Further, the book will contain extraterrestrial information in general, needed by these new candidates in the Mission."
